Giddy is hardly an accurate description.

This unit on figurative language is a little more difficult than the previous one about imagery (which is why I'm only analyzing four poems this time, did you catch that?). Imagery is at least something concrete, tangible, visible. Something figurative is the very antithesis, especially in the language of poetry where the lines are blurred even more. Much like Nabokov's analogy, imagery paints a kind of picture which can be viewed in one sitting with our eye (or in the picture we paint in our mind). Figurative language creates a work unable to be experienced immediately with a single organ, but instead mulls around in our brain until we make sense of it. The authors' suggestions never become something immediately clear with defined lines and boundaries and fancy borders. Something that takes more effort to analyze and "view" will always be more difficult. I blame it on ΔG.

It's all his fault.
